Railroads are gradually being extended
toward Bolivia from the eastern slope of the
Andes, although for years past the line built
at such vast cost by Peru from the Pacific to
Puno has not passed that lake town toward
the Bolivian frontier. The fault that it has
not been extended lies entirely with Bolivia.
Peru used every exertion and incurred all
enormous debt to build one of the most diff
cult roads yet constructed in the world, and
although the engines still climb the steep
gradients and pass through the wilds of
Cahuiantala on their way to Puno, no effort
is made by Bolivia to extend the road toward
the Desaguadero, and thence on TO the re-
gions where the Aynlara Indians pass their
lives in that happy state which can only be
understood by those who, like them, believe
that where ignorance is bliss It's folly TO be
wise Peru. through necessity it is true, and
mot bv any means from choice, not being able
10 assist her neiGlibor with money to carry
railroad into her territory, the Argentine
republic appears TO be about to take an in
ie,est in the matter, and to make an effort to
ION the Transandine lines with the central
part of Bolivia, where agricultural and
mineral riches abound which would well re-
ray transportation TO the coast.
Referring to the STEPS which have been
taken for this purpose, Buenos Ayres papers
now report that after nineteen months OF
severe labor the engineers have sent in the
preliminary plans for road to Quiaca. on
the Bolivian frontier These plans have been
made from the junction at Salta through the
roro ravine, and up to Quiaca- Thence the
iIumanahuaca ravine Is followed TO Jnijui.
The distance surveyed amounts to go kIlo-
meters, of which number @@225 are situated in
the Juiiui line After careful study a sclec-
ton will be made between the two roads
mentioned and work will then he commenced

Monday evening, number of petitions
were presented asking for the privilege
of making certain extentions to frame
buildings within the fire limits, and in
every instance the petition WAS referred
to the fire and water committee to res
port. The Ridiculous part of the mat
ter, however, was in the fact that IN
every case ii was revealed upon inquiry
that the improvements desired and for
which permission was asked, had already
been made, and that the seeking of per
mission from the council at such late
